The TANDBERG Video Portal enables interactive menu driven content access and call routing
from endpoints and UMTS handsets. A Video Portal can operate either standalone or in tandem
operation with a TANDBERG 3G Gateway. To connect a Video Portal to the UMTS network it has
to operate in tandem with a TANDBERG 3G Gateway.
IP Services and Procedures
ƒ SIP and H.323 dial in
ƒ Load balance
UMTS Services
The TANDBERG Video Portal offers a variety of interactive dial-in services:
Content retrieval – content selection from a video menu via DTMF interaction
Direct Content Dialing – retrieve live or stored content based upon the dialed number
Interactive Video Response (IVR) – select an endpoint (SIP, H323 or mobile) based upon
numbers shown in a menu or address book type of services.
Security
ƒ Secure Access - support XML/SOAP over HTTPS, Web (HTTP) encrypted password and
the services that can be disabled

Management Interfaces
SOAP Simple Object Access Protocol is a lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a
decentralized, distributed environment
XML
Extensible Markup Language is a flexible way to create common information formats and
share both the format and the data on the World Wide Web, intranets, and elsewhere.
This functionality can be used by management systems like the TANDBERG
Management Suite to control the Video Portal.
HTTP Web-interface for system management, call management such as call transfer,
diagnostics and software uploads.
HTTPS Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer is a Web protocol that encrypts
and decrypts user page requests as well as the pages that are returned by the Web
server. It uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) as a sub layer under its regular HTTP
application layering. HTTPS uses port 443 instead of HTTP port 80 in its interactions with
the lower layer, TCP/IP. SSL uses a 40-bit key size for the RC4 stream encryption

TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
3 Using the video portal
The TANDBERG Video Portal contains a separate web based interface for Content Provider
and (premium) phone number management. This WEB interface is developed in such a way
that it is possible for Hosting Provider to grant access to different Content Providers
comparable with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) 1 . Via the web based user management
(user name and password) it is possible for Content Providers to get remote access to the
Video Portal. Via a sophisticated distribution system it is possible to support many Content
Providers on one video portal.
3.1 Roles
With respect to the Video Portal the following roles can be distinguished:
•
The Hosting Provider (HP) operates the Video Portal and is responsible for the
technical management of the Video Portal. The HP is also responsible for the service
management, e.g. the provisioning of the content providers.
•
The Content Provider (CP) is the end-customer who wants to deliver content to 3G
enabled handsets and IP endpoints via the Video Portal.
There is a clear hierarchy in these roles:
Hosting Provider → Content Provider
Hosting Provider
(owning the video portal)
Provides:
•(Premium) service numbers
•Service platform
•Usage statistics
Content Provider
(owning the video portal)
Provides:
•Content
Figure 1: Overview of the roles
These roles can be combined within one company, e.g. the Hosting Provider might be the
same as the Content Provider. Typically these roles are then performed by different
departments in a company.
3.1.1 The Hosting Provider
The main tasks of the Hosting Provider are to provide and manage the Video Portal and
manage the Premium Numbers. The roles of the HP are:
•
service management
o provide service numbers (i.e. the B-numbers or ‘real’ telephone numbers of the
Video Portal).
o provision Content Providers
o provide premium numbers.
1
Note that interconnecting with the public Internet requires security measures like firewalls or
VPN access; both are no part of the TANDBERG Video Portal.
16
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
•
provision Content Providers
o assign premium numbers to Content Providers.
These two roles will most likely be done by two different departments.
The Hosting Provider has no knowledge of the content (except when necessary for the
technical management of the Video Portal or the switching infrastructure).
3.1.2 The Content Provider
The Content Provider is actually putting content on the Video Portal. Content is provided in
the form of an interactive video menu service (i.e. a menu created with the Service Creator)
called a service. Services are mapped onto premium numbers, which are provided by
Hosting Providers to Content Providers. Roles of the Content Provider are:
•
create content with the Video Portal Service Creator
•
define services.
•
map services onto premium numbers.
•
map Video Portal design’s (.IVR) to services.
•
upload content to the Video Portal.
17
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
3.2 Preparation for use
The Video Portal management interface is a web-based tool. This means that anyone with an
Internet Browser can use the tool 2 . Access to the Video Portal is by default possible via the URL
http://portal_ip_number:8000/management_console/index.php. The default Hosting Provider
Username is hp with Password TANDBERG. The Hosting Provider needs to provide the Content
Provider with the necessary information to use the Video Portal. This includes:
•
the URL (web site name) of the Video Portal Web interface.
•
the User name
•
the Password
A standard web-browser (currently only Firefox 1.0 and IE 6.0 (or higher) have been tested)
should work. When the Secure option is selected the password is encrypted when it is sent
across the network. Due to a limitation in Firefox the checkbox Secure needs to be disabled
when using Firefox.
For users who need to upload content a plug-in for Sun’s Java runtime needs to be installed, but
this only works with IE 6.0. This plug-in (the Java™ 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition
(JRE)) can be found on http://java.com. Administrator privileges are needed to install this plug-in.
Installation instructions can be found on the web site.
3.2.1 Security Certificate
If the Java applet is installed then the following popup may appear. This means that a security
certificate is installed for the Content Provider Web interface, but it is not issued by a trusted 3rd
party like VeriSign or Thawte, but by the Hosting Provider. It is safe to click Yes, or even better to
click Always.
2
Of course there may be restrictions, like specific IP addresses of the clients that can connect to
it, etc.
18
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
3.2.2 Using a web-based tool
Using a web-based tool is somewhat different from using a Windows-based tool. The web page is
just a front-end to a central database. Changes made via the web page do not automatically lead
to changes in the database. Often an Edit button has to be pressed first to get into a new screen
where changes can be made. Only when a button (usually called Save) is pressed the changes
will be committed.
E.g. in the screen shot below all permissions for a user are listed. When a change needs to be
made to the permissions for a particular function, e.g. IVR-Upload, the Edit button on that line
has to be pressed.
19
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
After pressing the edit button the next screen pops up and allows the changes to be made.
After the check marks have been made or removed, the Save button must be pressed. Then the
system returns to the previous screen and the updated permissions are shown.
20
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
4 Video Portal Tools
This chapter will describe the tools of the Video Portal in detail. Depending on your installation
and permissions the tools will appear in the top bar of the screen.
21
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
4.1 User Management
Users >> User Management
User management is one of the common functions of the Video Portal WEB interface. When the
Video Portal is delivered to the Hosting Provider it has one default administrator account hp with
default password TANDBERG. The Hosting Provider (HP) administrator can create additional
user accounts like for example the helpdesk and the marketing department. The administrator
can also add Content Providers to the Video Portal, named Customers. This is explained in more
detail in paragraph 4.2. However when a new Content Provider is created, one default
administrator account is created. Via this administrator account it is possible for the content
provider to add users like for example the CP marketing department. So the Hosting Provider and
each Content Provider have their own, separate user management console. Login names have to
be unique. But since all users from both Content Providers and Hosting Provider log into one
central system, there might be a conflict between user names. When adding a new user, an error
message, indicating that the login name is not unique, may appear, although there are no user
accounts with the same login name within the Content Provider.
On the top of the screen at the right there is a link to log out of the system and one to change the
password. The last one applies to the password of the current user. There is also a Password
option within the User Management tool, but this allows changing the password of another user
(mostly used by Administrators to reset the password if a user has forgotten it).
4.1.1
Permissions
The permissions need to be set per user. This is typically used to separate the various functions
within the Hosting Provider or Content Provider. E.g. someone in the design department of a
Content Provider may add services and upload content, but someone in the marketing
department may just look at the statistics. Since the administrator accounts have all permissions
set (and they cannot be changed for Administrator) it is advised to create additional accounts for
other users and not to use the administrator account for all activities.
The permissions are applied to specific functions. User management is common to all tools, but
each tool will have its own specific functions as well. E.g. only the
Content Provider can assign permissions for the Services Management function.
22
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
The permissions which can be assigned are:
•
List
The user can only view the information, but cannot change anything. When this option is
disabled the user will not see the tool in the upper tool bar.
•
Edit
The user can modify the information, but cannot create or delete new entries.
•
Add/Delete
The user can add or delete entries and fill in the initial information, but cannot modify the
information unless the edit permission is also set.
Permissions can be added, e.g. for a Content Provider there might be two users 3 , one for
someone in the creative department who creates the services and uploads them and one for
someone in the marketing department who needs the statistics on the use of the service.
When user Marketing Department logs in the result looks like:
3
There is always an Administrator account which always has all permissions set.
23
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
Note that the user does not have permissions for User Management and that tool is not listed
when the Marketing Department logs in.
This permission scheme is quite flexible and care has to be taken when setting permissions for a
user. It is possible to create permissions which make no sense, e.g.
Function
Services
List
Edit
9
Add/Delete
This user may edit a service, but cannot see them! 4
The permissions of some functions depend on other functions. Care has to be taken when filling
in the permissions. E.g. Service Mapping and IVR-upload are only useful when at least the List
permission for Services has been set.
4.1.2
Logging in
Each user will have an account name and a password. When the user account is created, a
password is initially generated by the system. The user who creates the account (usually the
Administrator) should edit the account and set a new password. The first time a user logs in this
password must be used. After that the password can be changed by the user.
4.1.3
Passwords
To avoid security breaches passwords have to obey certain rules:
•
A password must be at least 6 characters long
•
A password must contain at least 1 capital letter (A – Z)
•
A password must contain at least 1 small letter (a – z)
•
A password must contain at least 1 number (0 – 9)
•
A password cannot contain any non-alpha-numeric symbols
4
This will be fixed in a future version.

4.2 Customer Management
Customers >> Customer Management
Via the Customer management tab it is possible to add Content Providers to the system as a
Hosting Provider. In this particular case (see screenshot below) two customers are defined. The
columns in the table represent the following:
1. Name – this is just the name of the customer. It is a text field and customer names must be
unique.
2. Customer ID – this is an optional text field which can be used for an identification of the
customer. Usually this will be used as a link to information in other systems, e.g. customer
care or billing.
3. Customer Type – this indicates the type of customer. In future releases it is possible to
distinguish other type of customers.
4. Active – this indicates whether the customer account is activated or not. Only when it is
active, a user from the customer can log in. This is typically used during the provisioning or
migration of the service. This box is not checked by default on creating a customer!
5. Edit – allows the modification of the details of the customer.
6. Delete – deletes the customer.
25
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
Customer properties can be changed in the Edit screen. It is advised to edit the properties directly
after creating the customer. As a minimum the password has to be changed. It is advised to enter
also an email address. In future versions this will be used for new functionalities.

4.3 Statistics
Services >> statistics
All tools have statistics functionality. Whether a user actually sees the statistics tool depends on
the permissions set for this user (see paragraph 4.1.1). The default installation only contains one
simple query.
The default query allows for the generation of a number of simple bar graphs. The period the
statistics relate to can be selected. The following options are available:
•
•
•
•
Today
Last Week
Last Month
Time Period – The time period always starts on 00:00 of the first day (From field) till
00:00 on the last day (To field) and only one number at a time can be queried. The From
and To fields must be filled in. For instance if all calls on 19-01-2005 have to be shown,
then the From date is 19-01-2005 and the To date is 20-01-2005.
The default query generates the following graphs:
Graph
Calls per hour
Unique calls per hour
Sum duration per hour
Description
The total number of calls for each 1-hour period measured
over all days of the query period. So, e.g. all calls between
09:00 and 10:00 on all days are added together.
The same as above, but for each A-number (the number of
the caller) only 1 call is counted.

4.4 Service and Premium Number
Management
Numbers >> Service Number Management
Service numbers are the telephone numbers to which the Video Portal responds (i.e. the Bnumbers of calls). These numbers are not the same as the Premium numbers the end-users will
dial. The telephone switches in the public telephone infrastructure will do a call forward of the
premium numbers onto these service numbers e.g. dialing 09001234 is mapped on 1231243
(See figure below).
1. Service Number – this indicates the number on which the phone call arrives at the Video
Portal.
2. TC – The trailing character(s) (TC) is optional. It is usually used to provide extra information
about the call, e.g. “N” for a National call and “I” for International. This information is typically
provided by the switch operator and transferred together with the number itself via the C7
level to the Video Portal. What character(s) are used depends on the configuration of the
switches to which the Video Portal (via a Gateway) is connected. Please consult your switch
administrators for more information. The specified trailing characters, i.e. string, are stripped
from the telephone number.
3. Type – indicates the call type. Available options are: H324m, H323, SIP and All.
4. Premium Number – the premium number is the number that is dialed by the end user of the
service. This number is usually equal to the service number, and can be filled in here for
administrative (reference) reasons only. This number is a character string and may contain all
alphanumeric characters
5. Alias – this can be used as a label that refers to the number.
6. Customer – this indicates to which customer the number is assigned to.
7. Active – this indicates whether the number is activated. Only when it is active, the respective
dialed number is connected to a service.
8. Edit – allows modification of phone number settings.
9. Delete – deletes the number.
10. Status – presents call statistics for the selected number.
29
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
The management of the service numbers on the Video Portal is just an administrative action and
has nothing to do with the provisioning and routing of numbers in the telephone network.
The Hosting Provider has to define and assign service numbers to Content Providers. The best
way is to define the Content Providers first and the service numbers subsequently. Click the Add
ServiceNumber link, just below the last Service Number entry, to allocate a range of service
numbers to previously defined Content Providers. The range of Service Numbers starts with the
Service Number defined in the First Number field. The length of the range is defined in the
Sequence Length field, which is set to 1 by default, and will be assigned to the customer selected
in the Customer field. For instance if the First Number equals 1231245 and the sequence length
is set to 3, the range will be 3 numbers long and includes the numbers 1231245, 1231246 and
1231247.
If the phone number, in this case 1231245, is already in use then an error window appears, as
shown in the figure below.
When the Service Number settings for existing customer services are adapted, then the following
warning appears:
30
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
However, when the Service Number settings for self owned existing services are adapted, then
the Customer field is blocked and the following warning appears:
If the Content Provider is defined after the service numbers have been entered, the assignment of
service numbers to Content Providers can be done via the Edit button. The same holds for the
assignment of premium numbers to service numbers.
31
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
Service numbers can also be unassigned. This will usually be the case when the Hosting
Provider has reserved a block of numbers and assigns numbers on demand to Content
Providers.
The picture below shows what happens when the Hosting provider defines a sequence of three
numbers starting with 1231245.
Note that after adding a service number the premium number is the same as the service
Number which can be changed via the Edit button. The premium number, an alpha numeric
character string, can be filled in here for administrative (reference) reasons only.

4.6 Services
Services >> Services
A service is basically the same as a top-level menu. The content is created with the Service
Creator application (see separate documentation). This tool creates a so-called .ivr-file
(Interactive Video Response).
To define a service the following steps need to be taken:
1. A service needs to be defined – click the Add Service link and type the service name, as
presented in the web interface, in the name field.
2. The service must be mapped to at least one premium number – click the Edit Mapping.
See paragraph 4.6.1 for a more detailed explanation of mapping services to premium
numbers.
3. At least one IVR-file needs to be assigned to the service – click the Edit IVR button of the
service to which the IVR-file should be assigned. See paragraph 4.6.2 for a more detailed
explanation on IVR-files.
The columns in the table represent the following:
1. Name – this is just the name of the service. Moreover, service names must be unique.
2. Edit – allows service name modification.
3. Delete – deletes the respective service and all VR-files associated with it.
4. Active IVR – lists the IVR-file which is currently active. Paragraph 4.6.2 elaborates on
IVR-files.
5. Edit IVR – assign one or more IVR-files to a service.
6. Mapped Number(s) – shows the numbers that are mapped to the service. Moreover, the
call type, i.e. H324m, SIP, H323 is also specified.
7. Edit Mapping – change the mapping between premium numbers and services.
8. Log – this will popup the logging of the IVR-files.
To synchronize the data base of the Video Portal with the database of the management console,
press the Upload All IVR button. All previously active IVR files will be queued again with their
original start, time. When start times are in the past these services will become active
instantaneously.
35
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
4.6.1
Edit Mapping
The mapping of services to premium numbers is quite straightforward.
Click the Edit Mapping button and click the Add ServiceMapping link to select the premium
number. Only free premium numbers can be selected. More than one premium number can be
mapped to a single service. This can be used e.g. in the case where premium numbers in
different countries, or short codes from different (mobile) operators need to be mapped to the
same service.
4.6.2
IVR-files
When the Edit IVR button is clicked the user is presented with an overview of all the IVR-files for
the selected service. When no IVR-files are present for the service the list will be empty and the
user has to add an IVR-file first (by clicking the Add IVR link.
The columns in the table represent the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
36
Filename – the name of the IVR-file.
File size – the size in Kilobyte.
Start – the date and time when the service should become active.
Status – the status of the IVR-file, e.g. INACTIVE, QUEUED or ACTIVE.
Edit – allows modification of the start time and status of the service.
Delete – deletes the IVR-files from the Video Portal.
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
Since start times can be specified for all IVR-files, it is possible to specify multiple files for the
same service becoming active at different times. They will be stored on the Video Portal until they
are needed. Each IVR needs to be uploaded by clicking the Upload button.
Once an IVR-file has been uploaded its status can be:
•
Active – the IVR file is active. All end-users dialing the service will see this menu.
•
Inactive – the IVR file has been uploaded to the Video Portal, but it is de-activated. It can be
re-activated in the future by changing the start date and changing its status to Queued.
•
Completed – the IVR file has been active but is de-activated on activation of another IVR
file. Basically this is an old IVR file, but it can be re-activated at a point in the future.
•
Error – the IVR file has errors in it (e.g. missing RTSP links) or an error has occurred during
the upload of the IVR file. As a minimum fix the IVR file should be deleted and uploaded
again. But if the IVR file contains errors it has to be recreated.
•
Queued – The IVR file is uploaded, but its start time is still in the future. It will be made
active when the start time has been reached.
•
Uploading – The IVR file is currently being uploaded.
The user can change the status of an IVR-file but only to the Inactive and Queued status.
Scheduling
The CP Management Console has a scheduler that examines all the uploaded IVR files and
determines what to do with them. If an IVR file is Queued and the start date/time has been
reached, the scheduler will set the status to Active. The IVR file which has been Active till that
moment will be set to Completed. If two IVR files with the same start date and time are uploaded
to one service, the one that was uploaded last will be activated.
Uploading IVR files
When a new IVR file is added a filename and a start date and time can be specified. The status
can be set to either Inactive or Queued. When the Upload button is pressed the IVR file is
uploaded to the Video Portal and stored there. If the status was set to Inactive, nothing will be
done with the IVR file once it has been uploaded. It will be available for future use, triggered by
some explicit action from the user. If the status is Queued, the IVR file will become Active as
soon as the start date/time has been reached.
37
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
4.6.3
Service Logging
After the IVR file has been uploaded it is possible to check the log file as soon as the scheduler
tried to activate the IVR file. Before that time the log file is empty. If e.g. the IVR file is not correct
the status will turn to Error and clicking on Log in the services sections will result in the following
popup screen with the log information.

6.2 H.323 Configuration
To dial out from IP to ISDN, through the Video Portal and 3G Gateway, requires the use of H.323
numbers (E.164 aliases). This means that the Video Portal must be registered to a Gatekeeper.
H.323 Gatekeeper Status shows the current status of the Gatekeeper registration.
Note that if the Gatekeeper is configured with an alternative Gatekeeper, the Status area
might report a registration to the IP address of the alternative Gatekeeper.
Gatekeeper Settings
Gatekeeper Mode Enables the Video Portal to register to a Gatekeeper or without (direct
mode). Selecting direct will gray out the gatekeeper IP address settings.
When registered with a gatekeeper, the H.323 Gatekeeper Status shows
Registered, the Gatekeeper’s IP address and the port used.
Selecting direct mode will result in no Gatekeeper registration; hence it is not
possible to dial through the Video Portal via alias names. The H.323 Gatekeeper
Status area will be empty.
Problems with registration will be shown in the Status area and as a Red alarm
on the ‘Overview’ page.
Gatekeeper IP Address
Enter the Gatekeeper IP Address that the Video Portal should register to. Leaving empty will
result in direct dialing without the use of aliases.
Authentication Mode
Off
Register to the Gatekeeper without authentication.
50
TANDBERG Video Portal User Manual
